You can modify the maximum number of allowed ACEs for each NFSv4 ACL by modifying the parameter -v4-acl-max-aces. By default, the limit is set to 400 ACEs for each ACL. Increasing this limit can help ensure successful migration of data with ACLs containing over 400 ACEs to storage systems running ONTAP.

About this task

Increasing this limit might impact performance for clients accessing files with NFSv4 ACLs.

Steps

  1. Set the privilege level to advanced:

    set -privilege advanced

  2. Modify the maximum ACE limit for NFSv4 ACLs:

    vserver nfs modify -v4-acl-max-aces max_ace_limit

    The valid range of

    max_ace_limit is 192 to 1024.

  3. Return to the admin privilege level:

    set -privilege admin
